Assigning And Using Parent Package Variables
May 2, 2007
I have read a few different threads on this and I am still not having any luck. I have 4 dtsx files in my project. One represents the parent package. I have set up 3 Parent Package Variables and have assigned each to the value property of 3 variables within the parent package.
Not sure if I did this correct because when I execute the parent package, it in turn executes the first child package, but the child fails because the variables needed did not set the correct value for a connection string in the child's data connection.
I just need to know how to use these parent variables from Package A within the child (Package B) when setting up my expression for a connection- example: "@[User::varParentFilePath] " - This is the local variable name in the child. This is the variable I am assuming that I am supposed to be able to set the value property of from the parent variable?
I feel that I am close, but may need a little more direction. Thanks

Hi,
I would like to design a SSIS package, which have couple of variables. It loads a xls file specified in a variable [varExcelFileFullPath] .
I will run it by commands: exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL ....' (pls see an example below).
It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****
/MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING EW
/LOGGER "{6AA833A1-E4B2-4431-831B-DE695049DC61}";"Test.SuperBowl"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileName].Properties[Value];"TestAdHocLayer"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelWorkbookName].Value;"Sheet1$"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varExcelFileFullPath].Value;"D: estshareTestAdHocLayer.xls"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varDestinationTableName].Value;"FeaturesTmp"
/Set Package.Variables[User::varPreSQLAction].Value;"delete from FeaturesTmp"
'
thanks,

Hello All,
I have a Master Package which calls a group of other packages out on the SSIS Package Store using parent / child and a number of variables. These seem to work when passing various audit information (audit key, record counts, etc) but when I try to pass a variable for the connection string and assign it via an expression to the connection manager, I get the Master Package writing to the correct database and the children package writing to their "default" database which is supplied as the default value in the variables which should be populated by the parent task.
i.e., I end up with my master package audit information in database a and child package audit and transactions in database b, even though the packages associated with these transactions are supposed to be reading the connection string from a parent variable. Any clues or suggestions?
Edit: It is still passing along the correct parent audit information and record counts, it's just not connecting to the correct database by the variables holding the connect string
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I am sending variables from package to package by configuration parent packages in each package...
I usually set logging to text files in a certain path that should be received from the parent variable... the strange thing is that if i let the variable in the child package with an incorrect path, my package just through an error even if i am passing the variable from the parent with a correct value...
So... my question is... does my package starts execution without any synch over the parent packages? When are they set? How can i be sure to start my logging with the right parent variable settings?
You can try for example to create a package... add a new variable like "A" and "B" set its value to a default string like "I DONT WANT THIS", add an Execute SQL Task that will record the values of "A" variable to a temporary table...
Then use dtexecui.exe to execute the package and set variable "A" to "THIS IS WHAT I NEED" you will see that in the table will appear one record with the "I DONT WANT THIS" value...
I can't understand this...
Also... if i have 100 variables configured to get values from the parent... is the execution synch or asynch?
Best Regards,

In respect to Parent / Child packages, can some one correct me if I'm wrong.
Even if connection managers are created in Parent package, the same needs to be created in child packages if they need to connect to database. On the other hand I can just create connection strings in variable in parent package(instead of connection managers itself) and use parent package variable configuration to configure the connection string of child package with the variable value.
Sorry If I'm confusing
The same with variables, the parent variable needs to be mapped to a child variable(using parent package variable config) to be used in child package, it cannot be used as it is.
Thanks

I’ve reconfigured Microsoft’s IBS Store shopping cart to function within a small e-commerce website. What I am trying to do is to modify the code slightly in order to use a third party credit card processing center. The situation is this: once the customer clicks the final "check out" button, a stored procedure writes all of the product ordering information into the database. I, then, capture what they're wanting to purchase with the following SQL statement:
Dim strSQL as String = "Select orderID, modelNumber from orderDetails" & _
"where CustomerID = " & User.Identity.Name & _
"And orderid = (SELECT MAX(orderid)FROM orderDetails" & _
"where CustomerID = " & User.Identity.Name & ")"
What I would like to do is assign specific values to variables based off of the above query. For example:
Dim orderItem as String = (all of the modelNumbers from the query)
Dim orderIdItem as String = (all of the orderIDs from the query)
How do I do this?? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have a parent SSIS package that executes various subpackages. Each of the subpackages contain variables that are required for their successful execution, e.g. one has a variable of datetime datatype and a variable of varchar datatype.
This date will essentially change with every running of the package as it specifies the date that additional data has been added to the back-end SQL Server 2005 database.
I can't find anything in the expressions of the Execute Package Task that would allow me to pass these variables into the package.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Paul

Somebody provided me with this link http://www.sqlis.com/58.aspx that helped me understand Execute SQL Task and how to assign values to variables from a resulting SQL query.
But I'm not sure if this tutorial addresses my particular example.
Here is what I'm trying to do.
I have a a simple table called VarTable with 2 columns. Col1 is called VarName, and Col2 is called VarVal. As you may have guessed from the column names, I want to hold variable and value pairs in this table.
Right now, I have 2 entries as follows.
Var1, Hello
Var2, Bye
I want to assign Hello and Bye into two variables in my package.
In using the above tutorial, I figured out how to assign one variable by doing the following SQL and using "Single row" Result Set property.
Select VarVal from VarTable
Where VarName = 'Var1'
Then in Result Set section of the Execute Task Editor I map VarVal with one of my user variables.
How do I take care of the 2nd variable in the same Execute SQL Task, or do I need to have another Execute SQL Task? Based on my understanding, in order for me assign multiple variables in one Execute SQL Task, I need somehow construct a SQL statement to return as many columns as I have variables to assign, but this seems hard to do given the variable table structure I have.
Please let me know if my example is unclear.

I have variables and values stored in a table in this format
process_id | t_variable | t_value
-----------------------------------------------------
1 | Remote_Log_Server | AUSCPSQL01
...
many such rows
how to assign values to variables in SSIS?
basically i'm looking for SQL equivalent of the following query i currently use to assign values to multiple variables (in a single query)
SELECT
@varRemoteLogServer=MAX(CASE WHEN [t_variable] = 'Remote_Log_Server' THEN [t_value] END)
,@varVariable2=MAX(CASE WHEN [t_variable] = 'variable2_name' THEN [t_value] END)
FROM Ref_Table
WHERE process_id=1

I'm doing Derived Column transformations, using a Findstring expression to locate field seperators in a column, and then a Substring expression to move the string data at those field seperator locations into a new column.
At the moment I'm using two Derived column transformations, one to store the result of the Findstring in a new column, and then a second to actually move the data into a new column with the Substring.
Is it possible to assign the result of the Findstring expression to a variable, that I can then use in the Substring expression? This would allow me to do the whole thing in one transformation

Hi,
I think I'm just braindead or simply thick...since this shouldn't be that hard, but I'm stumped right now.
So, I'm trying to retrieve from a table, with a sql stored procedure with the sql like
"select height, width, depth from products where id=@idinput"
OK, so this part is easy, but if I wanted to say, return this to my code and assign height to a variable Ht, width to Wd and depth to Dp, how could I do that?
This is what I've got so far...
[code]
cmdSelect = New SqlCommand( "GetProd", connstr )
cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbcon.Open()
dbcon.Close()
[/code]
The main prob is just what to connect this record to in order to access the individual fields.
Thx :)

Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

Hi,
I created a package which passes some infornmations( through parameters) to its child package.
I need to do some processing in parent package based on execution status of child package.i.e.
if child fails then some operation and if child succeeds then other operation.
To determine the status of execution of child package I am using two differnt constraint ..one constraint is having value "Success" and other having value "Failure".
My problem is that when child packge is executed successfully the constraint with value = "Success" works properly but when child fails the constraint with value "Failure" does not work.

We
have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using
ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections.
While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the
packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.
For example:
Except for one of the packages the database connection string gets assigned
properly to all other packages.
Similarly, in another package one of the
variables doesn€™t get assigned. In other packages it is assigned properly.
We
have checked all the other property values and they are exactly the same.
We cannot make any head or tail of this erratic behavior.
Please Help.

hi,
I am interested in Passing value from a child Package variable to the Parent package that calls it in ssis.
I am able to call the Child package using the execute package task and use Configurations to pass values from the parent variable to the child, but I am not able to pass the value from the child to the parent.
I have a variable called datasetId in both the parent and child. it gets computed in the child and needs to be passed to the parent...
Any suggestions?

Hi guys,
Here's the deal. I have a child package, (say, pack01.dtsx), which uses a dtsconfig file for its connection string, which can be called from other packages, but which also can be called by itself.
However I also have another package (say, pack02.dtsx) which uses the same dtsconfig file for its connection string. It calls on pack01.dtsx.
When I use DTEXECUI and run pack01.dtsx, specifying the proper .dtsconfig file, it goes well. But when I try and run pack02.dtsx, an error occurs saying pack01.dtsx connection cannot be established.
How do I pass the connectionstring being used by pack02 to pack01, without having to remove the configuration file setting of pack01? Can a Parent Package configuration and a configuration file try and map to the same property?
Hope someone could help. Thanks.

Hello All,
I have a SSIS Package with a "Execute Package Task" to call a child package. I am trying to have the master/parent package complete its execution regardless the outcome (failure or success) of the child package. The overall structure of the master package is:
1. Perform Pre-load tasks (stored procedure).
2. Execute Package Task (call child package)
3. Perform Post-load Tasks (stored procedure)
I have try everything and cannot get the results that I want... I have tried the combination of "failparentonfailure", "forceexecutionvalue", etc. The master package stops at childs failure. I would like to resume to completion
Any ideas out there?

I have two SSIS packages in a project, one calling the other. The parent package works fine in my local mechine. After they are deployed to the production, I schedeul jobs to run the packages in the SqlServer. The child package works fine if I run it alone, but the parent package could not find its child package if I run the parent package . As I checked, all xml config files and the connection string pointing to the child package were set correctly. It seems the parent package did not use the xml config file. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

I have a parent package which calls a number of child packages. Occasionally, I have one child package which starts up and appears to finish but the parent package never gets notification that the child has finished. If I view this in Management Studio's in Integration Services, I can view the packages that are running and only the parent package is running. Because it never gets control back, the next child package will never get started and the parent package will continue to run and never finish.
Any idea what could be happening??

I run into some issues and really need some expert help here.
Here is the problem. I have two packages (parent.dtsx and child.dtsx). Both package have its own configuration file (parent.dtsConfig and child.dtsConfig). The file Child.dtsConfig contains a variable (i.e. "X") that is to be used by Child.dtsx.
Inside parent.dtsx. there is a package-task that calls into Child.dtsx. It worked perfectly well if I run parent.dtsx using Dtexec or from inside SSIS's IDE.
Now I want to programmably call "parent.dtsx" from my C# code. I loaded package using "app.LoadPackage"... Inside C# code, I want to reconfigure Child-package's variable ("X"). I then loaded in "Child.dtsx". However when I run "parent.dtsx" and child.dtsx still loads the original value for "X". The reconfigured value for "X" is not updated.
Please help on how to get around this issue.
Thanks.

I have a Data Flow Script Component(Destination Type) and in the properties I have a read/write variable called User::giRowCount
User::giRowCount is populated by a Row Count Component previously in the Data Flow.
After reading http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=97494&SiteID=1 it is very clear that you can actually only use variables in the PostExecute of a Data Flow Script Component or you will get an error
"Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Pipeline.ReadWriteVariablesNotAvailableException: The collection of variables locked for read and write access is not available outside of PostExecute."
What I need to do is actually create a file in the PreExecute and write the number of records = User::giRowCount as second line as part of the header, I also need to parse a read/write variable such as gsFilename to save me hardcoding the path
(Me.Variables.gsFilename.ToString),(Me.Variables.giRowCount.ToString)
-they must go in the PreExecute sub --workarounds please-here is the complete script component that creates a file with header, data and trailer --Is there any workaround

Hi,
I am making use of the DtUtil tool to deploy my package to SQL Server.
Following is my configuration:
32-bit machine and 32-bit named instance of Yukon.
I have some package variables which need to be set in the code.
Previously I did it as follows:
Set the package variables in the code. For example:
pkgFile.Variables["User::DestinationServerName"].Value = <myvalue>
Deploy the package as follows:
applnObj.SaveToSqlServer(pkgFile, null,
destinationServer, null, null);
Here the package was successfully deployed and when i open those packages using BIDS, I am able to see that the variables are set to the values as doen in teh code.
Because of oen problem I am not using SaveToSQLServer method. So I switched to DTUtil tool.
Now I am doing it this way:
Set the package variables as before.
Deploy the package to SQL Server using DTUtil tool.
Now is the problem:
The package is successfully deployed. But the variables are not set to the value that I have specified in the code.
I also tried DTexec utility to set the package variable. Even that does n't work.
Can anyone help me out? Is there any alternate method to set package variables?
Thanks,
Sandhya

I am very new to SQL Server 2005, and I am currently trying to migrate a 2000 db to 2005.
I have now migrated all the DTS to SSIS, removing any legacy & replacing with new functionality.
I have been through a group of related packages ironing out any problems. They ALL now run fine when called individually.
However, I am now having problems with the parent package that is used to string these all together. It will not even run the 1st package.
For info, the first task of this package is a "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task". I am copying a few tables with data, but WITHOUT indexes, etc.
Following this, there is an "Execute SQL Task" that creates an index on one of those copied tables.
To get past another issue I had to set the "CopySchema" property of the "Transfer..." task to true, but did not select any schemas to transfer.
Now, when running the PARENT package, it is failing at the 1st step of the 1st package as follows:
Error: 0xC002F325 at Copy LT Data Tables, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: Execution failed with the following error: "ERROR : errorCode=-1071636471 description=SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005.

I have been searching and searching, finding similar problems, and even the same error codes, but nothing quite matching this particular scenario.
I have been trying to set the "DelayValidation" at various levels, but with no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this. Has anyone else had the same, or similar, issue?

I have noticed an issue with parent package variables. I have a package with multiple parent package variables defined, call them X, Y, and Z. I also have a parent package that calls this other package. The parent package has variable definitions for X and Z. It seems that the value for X will be passed along, and Y will give a warning since there is no variable of that name in the parent. The issue is that Z will not be passed along. It seems like the parent package configuration process stops after it encounters one missing variable.
Is this a know issue? Is it by design?
